Understanding Stem Cell Treatment

What is a stem cell treatment? If you have

been asking that question for a while now,

then continue to read on. In this article,

we will go over the basics when it comes

to this kind of treatment that has been

known to improve different issues of the

body.

What are stem cells?

Stem cells are basically cells in the human

body that are capable of replicating intodifferent types of cells (multipotent and

pluripotent).

With stem cells, multipotent cells are

aided to repair the body. The cells are

capable of dividing and replenishing the

cells. Pluripotent stem cells, on the other

hand, are capable of stimulating the

growth of other cells in the body with theexception of those cells necessary for the

formation of a foetus.

Under the process of stem cell division, each cell can mimic other cells and their

respective functions. Even the specialized functions of brain cells, muscle cells, and

blood cells can be mimicked by stem cells.

Where can you find these stem cells?

These cells can be found in a person's bone marrow, blood stream, pancreas, liver,

skin, eye retina and cornea, and even the dental pulp of a tooth. Human embryos, in

their earliest state can provide pluripotent stem cells.

It is important to understand that adult stem cells are opposite of the stem cells that

are non-embryonic. They can be found in different organs and tissues. With each

tissue, there is an unlimited amount of multipotent stem cells that have restricted

abilities for reproduction.

Stem cell treatments are performed to men, women, and children who have

different problems in the body. Those individuals who have cancer, Alzheimer's

Disease, Heart Disease, Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease AmyotropicLateral Sclerosis, Autism can undergo stem cell treatment.

For example, hypoperfusion, low supply

of blood to the brain, is manifested in

patients with autism. Patients can be

treated with stem cell therapy through

the injection of CD34+ stem cells. This

process improves the delivery of blood

supply to the brain. If more blood goes to

the brain, it will receive more oxygen and

energy. This allows the brain to be more

functional.

If you are undergoing a difficult time because of a certain disease in the body, you

must talk to your doctor about your options. Ask him about the treatments available

for the certain disease. Further investigate what stem cell treatment can do for your

specific case in order to get a good understanding about this kind treatment.

Adult Stem Cell Therapy Can Help You

There are many kinds of illness that can manifest in an individual's body. These

problems can be debilitating. No one wants to go through it. Unfortunately, we are

not immune to all of these diseases and we may develop certain illness such as heart

disease and diabetes.

Fortunately, there are treatments that we can go through which can help us regain

our health and have optimum functioning of our body. One of those treatments is

adult stem cell therapy. This kind of treatment involves the use of adult stem cells in

treating different problems in the human body.

Stem cells are basically cells in the body that have the capacity to morph or develop

into a different type of cell. We all know that the human body is composed of

trillions of cells and each one has their specific kind and function.

Stem cells are not yet specialized which means they can change into other cells or

create another form. Other cells are only capable of creating muscle or heart cells

while others can change into a desired type of cell, following appropriate treatment

and stimulation.

With adult stem cell therapy, these cells are cultivated and then introduced into a

troubled or malfunctioning organ. A brain that has a degenerative disease, a spinal

cord that has been damaged, or a weak heart—these issues are candidates for suchkind of therapy.

This kind of therapy makes use of cells that are harvested from adult individuals.

This is not the same as getting the stem cells from embryos.

In 2008, a woman had successfully undergone a stem cell -assisted organ transplant.

She had a collapsed trachea so basically, she needed a new trachea. A donor trachea

was used, removing all except its basic structure, a cartilage. The cells and tissues of

the trachea had to be removed because if it was to be implanted on to the woman,

her body would have rejected it.

The patient's stem cells were harvested from her bone marrow and then introducedinto the “stripped” trachea. Within four days, new trachea cells have grown. The

organ itself now was ready to be transplanted into the patient. There is no need to

use anti-rejection drugs because the trachea is composed of her own cells and

tissues. The treatment was indeed successful.

This is very exciting news because everyone can benefit from adult stem cell therapy.

Talk to your doctor now so you can learn about this amazing therapy that could help

you regain your health.

Stem Cell Transplant: Benefits Cancer Patients

Men, women, and even children develop

cancer in their bodies. This is a fact of life.

We know of someone who has passed away

because of it. There are different kinds of

cancer that can develop in the different partsof the human body. Breast cancer, cervical

cancer, lung cancer and prostate cancer are

among the most commonly occurring

cancers.

In this article, we will explain how one can

benefit from a stem cell transplant.

Basically, this kind of transplant makes use of stem cells. Stem cells are immature,unspecialized cells that can develop or mature into a different one. The process of

injecting healthy stem cells into the human body is beneficial especially to patients

who have problems in their bone marrows and stem cells.

The transplant allows the recipient to continue producing what his or her body

needs to remain functional such as red blood cells and white blood cells. As we all










7

know, these cells such as the RBC and WBC need stem cells in order to develop into

what they are supposed to be.

As cancer patients undergo cancer therapy like chemotherapy and radiation, their

body's different cells are destroyed. Both the target cancer cells and the healthy cells

which include the bone marrow's stem cells are damaged.

This can greatly impact the patient's health because we all know that the bone

marrow is where blood cells of the body are produced. This can result to a

diminished red blood cell count and the patient may develop anaemia. The white

blood cell count will also decrease making the patient vulnerable and prone to

infections and other diseases.

With a stem cell transplant, the cells needed by the body particularly the RBC and

WBC, can be produced, allowing the patient to have an improve oxygen supply in the

body and also increase resistance to infection. The restoration of normal processes

within the body can take place.

Patients with leukaemia and lymphoma

may undergo the transplant which can

help them regain their health.

These treatments are performed toensure that health is regained and

maintained. The human body has so

much potential and it actually contains

the necessary tools to fight off diseases

and infections. But sometimes, help is

needed and this is where the transplant

is utilized.

Stem cells from the bone marrow and the umbilical cord can be harvested to helpsick patients undergo a process of healing. So many people have already

experienced the benefits of the treatment. If it can work for them, it may work for

others too.

Experience A Better Life With Stem Cell Treatments

Having a certain kind of illness such as cancer or heart disease can be a trying time

for the person who has it and for his family. It is not easy dealing with such an illness.

If only treating the problem is as easy as snapping one's fingers and everything will

be okay. Unfortunately, that is not the case.

But there is hope because of the

advancement of research and technology.

More and more people are able to

prolong their lives and regain the health

of their bodies because of the different

treatments they can undergo.

One of the most exciting treatments out

there is stem cell therapy. Stem cell

treatments make use of the body's own

natural stem cells that are known to help

tissue and organ regeneration, especially

in cases when people seem to have lost

hope.

Stem cells have the capacity to develop into a different kind of cell. The cells are notyet specialized and through manipulation they can transform to a much more

specialized one. For example, in spinal cord injuries, stem cells may be used to

replace the already dead nerves. The growth of new cells can then be stimulated by

the stem cells.

For patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation, their stem cells may be

damaged because of the cancer treatment. A stem cell transplant can be performed

so that the normal processes of cell regeneration (WBC and RBC development) can

be restored.

Stem cell treatments can be performed to treat or cure different kinds of problems

that are experienced in the body.

Patients with heart disease benefit from the treatment through the introduction of

stem cells or myoblasts. Heart attacks can be prevented from occurring with this











9

treatment. This is really good news

because there are so many people who die

every single day because of heart

conditions.

Within the skeletal muscles of a patient,myoblasts can be isolated. Through the

use of a catheter, the myoblasts are then

delivered to the heart where it can do its

job. This kind of catheter-based treatment

is favoured by many because discomfort is

very much lessened. What a patient

experiences or feels during an angiography

are what can be expected with the

catheter-based transplant.

More and more individuals are undergoing stem cell treatments because they have

finally learned of how beneficial the therapies can be. Do more research about this

kind of treatment. You will come across so many testimonials of people who have

undergone it and are on their way to living a healthier and much better life.

Stem Cell Financing: Available For Those Who Are Qualified

Our health and our life are very important to us. Disease and illness may affect our

bodies but fortunately, there are many ways for us to combat them. We have to be

active in pursuing the best options when it comes to health treatments for our

specific illness.

We only have one body. We will do everything that is

possible to ensure our health and our life. With the

advancement of medical technology, we will be able toregain what is lost. The health problems that we

experience can be treated so that we can resume

living a life that is free from pain and disease.

With stem cell therapy, patients who have cancer, diabetes, heart disease, spinal

cord injuries and other problems in the body can be treated.

The stem cells are undifferentiated which means they are not yet specialized unlike

leukocytes (white blood cells), erythrocytes (red blood cells), neurons (brain cells),

and other cells that have specific form and function.

Those cells that were mentioned above all started out as stem cells. The amazingthing about stem cells is that they have the potential to become different kinds of

cells. They can be manipulated so that the desired outcome of a cell can be

achieved.

Adult stem cells are harvested from certain parts of the body, most especially in the

iliac crest where there is a large amount of red bone marrow that can be found. The

harvesting of the bone marrow can be a painful procedure but an anaesthetic will be

administered to ease the pain. Stem cells can also be harvested from the blood. The

procedure is not as painful as bone marrow aspiration.

Studies have already shown the

benefits of this kind of therapy.

Plenty of men, women, and

children have experienced, for

themselves, the changes and

improvement in their health which

were previously altered by certaindiseases in the body.

The procedure is performed by a licensed doctor who has experience in the field of

stem cell procedures and research. If you are in need of a treatment, find the doctor

who is qualified and has the experience to provide quality health care service to you.

The treatment can be quite costly but there is a custom-tailored stem cell financing

that is available for those individuals who are qualified. All you have to do is fill in

the details that are required from the form which is available on a website of a clinicthat performs the treatments. The credit officers should be able to discuss with you

the available options that you can choose from.
